You can display the expand icon by hovering the mouse over TreeView and hide the expand icon by leaving the mouse from TreeView. Refer to the following code sample to hide/show the expand/collapse icon automatically using the mouse.

import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { TreeView } from '@syncfusion/ej2-navigations';
enableRipple(true);

/**
 * TreeView Auto hide/show expand/collapse icons
 */

    // List data source for TreeView component
   let countries: { [key: string]: Object }[] = [
    { id: 1, name: 'India', hasChild: true },
    { id: 2, pid: 1, name: 'Assam' },
    { id: 3, pid: 1, name: 'Bihar' },
    { id: 4, pid: 1, name: 'Tamil Nadu' },
    { id: 6, pid: 1, name: 'Punjab' },

    { id: 8, pid: 7, name: 'Paraná' },
    { id: 9, pid: 7, name: 'Ceará' },
    { id: 10, pid: 7, name: 'Acre' },
    { id: 11, name: 'France', hasChild: true },
    { id: 12, pid: 11, name: 'Pays de la Loire' },
    { id: 13, pid: 11, name: 'Aquitaine' },
    { id: 14, pid: 11, name: 'Brittany' },
    { id: 15, pid: 11, name: 'Lorraine' },
    { id: 16, name: 'Australia', hasChild: true },
    { id: 17, pid: 16, name: 'New South Wales' },
    { id: 18, pid: 16, name: 'Victoria' },

    { id: 24, pid: 21, name: 'Beijing' },
    { id: 25, pid: 21, name: 'Shantou' }
];

// Renders treeview
let tree1: TreeView = new TreeView({
    fields: { dataSource: countries, id: 'id', text: 'name', parentID: 'pid', hasChildren: 'hasChild' },
    created: onCreate

tree1.appendTo('#tree');

function onCreate(){
  let treeElement: Element = document.getElementById("tree");
  let collapse: NodeListOf<Element> = treeElement.querySelectorAll('.e-icons.e-icon-collapsible');
  let expand: NodeListOf<Element> = treeElement.querySelectorAll('.e-icons.e-icon-expandable');
  hideIcon(expand, collapse);
  document.getElementById("tree").addEventListener('mouseenter', (event:any) => {
    showIcon(expand, collapse);
  })
  document.getElementById("tree").addEventListener('mouseleave', (event:any) => {
   hideIcon(expand, collapse);
  })
}

// hides expand/collapse icon on hovering the mouse
function hideIcon(expand: NodeListOf<Element>, collapse: NodeListOf<Element>) {
for(let i: number = 0; i < collapse.length; i++ ){
    collapse[i].setAttribute('style','visibility: hidden');
  }
  for(let j: number = 0; j < expand.length; j++ ){
    expand[j].setAttribute('style','visibility: hidden');
  }
}

// shows expand/collapse icon while leaving the mouse
function showIcon(expand: NodeListOf<Element>, collapse: NodeListOf<Element>) {
for(let i: number = 0; i < collapse.length; i++ ){
    collapse[i].setAttribute('style',"visibility", "");
  }
  for(let j: number = 0; j < expand.length; j++ ){
    expand[j].setAttribute('style',"visibility", "");
  }
}
